EATEN the movie – could polar bears trump sharks at the theatre?
Would EATEN make a good movie? What do other scary predator attack films tell us (if anything) about the probability of EATEN becoming a successful motion picture? In June 1975 (one year after the book was published), JAWS the movie became a huge box office hit. Fast forward to June 2016, when another shark-attack film […]
Colleague says EATEN possibly a real service to polar bear conservation
